Midweek Results 1

And so following the 3 matches last night which pitted West Brom against Arsenal, Portsmouth against Chelsea and Liverpool against Sunderland, there were no surprises as the top 4 sides continued to pile on the pressure on Man Utd although any reverse decision would have gifted United the BPL crown.

Arsenal beat West Brom 3-1 with Nicklaus Bendter scoreing a brace and Kolo Toure adding one to seal the win for Arsenal, once again somewhat resurgent. Brunt had earlier levelled the score for West Brom but they couldnt do enough against Arsenal.

Chelsea were lucky to get a goal against languishing Portsmouth courtesy of the revived Didier Drogba to give them a slim 1-0 win as Chelsea continue to pressure the league leaders Man Utd.
How long will the Dutch magic last?

Liverpool put up a convincing performance at home against Sunderland to win 2-0 with goals by N'Gog and Benayoun. Just the needed result to back Rafa Benitez's claim that the Reds are still in the title race.
The opinion shared here is that its at most a 2 horse race between resurgent Chelsea and Man Utd.

We shall see how United do tonight against relagation battlers Newcastle. With all due respect, the Georgies should be doing better with all their resources.
